Thirty participants from 19 countries gathered at AZTI/GES4SEAS Summer School 2026 for three days of hands-on training on Tikta, the GES4SEAS tool for assessing the cumulative effects of multiple human pressures on marine ecosystems and supporting environmental status evaluation.
GES4SEAS has finalised a multilingual educational comic book that brings ocean science closer to young readers, showing how healthy seas support human well-being and how science-based management can help protect marine ecosystems.
GES4SEAS is delivering international training sessions to equip end users with its Tikta toolbox, gathering feedback to refine and validate tools for real-world environmental assessment and policy implementation.
Three days of practical training on cumulative pressure assessment, aligned with EU marine policies and the MSFD. A focused summer school for researchers, managers, and policymakers working on marine environmental status.
GES4SEAS presented new research at the 19th Hellenic Conference of Ichthyologists showing that benthic recovery from bottom trawling varies strongly by habitat depth and species traits, reinforcing the need to integrate ecosystem-functioning indicators into sustainable fisheries management.
GES4SEAS celebrates a major milestone with the release of its open-access book compiling 27 scientific papers on cumulative pressures, climate change, and management — a lasting legacy for marine science and policy worldwide.
GES4SEAS will co-organise the ECSA 61 Conference in Brussels (24–27 August 2026), joining 13 Horizon Europe projects to strengthen science–policy collaboration and showcase innovative tools for sustainable ocean management.
Meet Tikta, GES4SEAS’ innovative and multi-purpose software. Built to facilitate data management and environmental assessments, Tikta integrates powerful assessment methods like CEA and NEAT, turning complex data into actionable insights for sustainable ocean management.
